New Danish research suggests that acupuncture may provide much needed menopause relief to women. The Danish study “clearly demonstrates that menopausal symptoms can also be successfully treated with acupuncture. This is very exciting news as hormonal treatment for menopausal symptoms have fallen out of favor and other medical treatments are marginally effective.”

Using acupuncture needles at pressure points in the body can stimulate the central nervous system, causing it to release pain-relieving chemicals, called endorphins that can help alleviate complaints associated with menopause.
